I'll be curious to see how he performs in Finland next year. It's not that great of a loss for the Remparts, frees up an import spot for them too. Hey... they could always select Rosen this summer.
This doesn't change the expiration of his draft rights, correct? We'd still have to get him signed next year (if the Sabres choose to offer a contract)?

He has 5 points in 2 games. Small sample size I reckon but if he keeps that pace he isn't long for U20.
He probably doesn't get signed Rochester will be loaded with forwards next season.
Still getting Liiga time on not the fourth line. 2-2-4 in six games going into today in the highest Finnish league. His last couple of Liiga games he had 16:05 and 14:03 in TOI since coming up. Not sure that continues with today's relatively unforced error that put Karpat ahead, but we'll see.
So...drafted in 2021...was in the CHL at the time...= rights expire 6/1/2023
then he goes home to Liiga. Does that change rights at all?
Damn.No, he's a sign-or-lose since he was drafted out of the Q and this is the second year since selection. I'm really torn on this one from Q views so I'm trying to get more eyeballs on him on his club team(s). His J20 production is excellent.
Oh. Wonderful.Correct. He was a Q draftee, not a European league draftee, so the rules for CHL guys remain for him.
Sounds like we need to sign him by June 1. What do you think we do?
They hold his rights for four years.
The portion of the rules that's been quoted here refers to the player being tendered a Bona Fide Offer according to 8.6(a)(ii). So the next thing to do is to look at 8.6(a)(ii) and it tells you the following:
8.6(a)(ii) Subject to the provisions of subsection (iii) below and Sections (b), (c) and (d) below, if, on or before June 1 of the calendar year next succeeding the Entry Draft, the claiming Club makes a Bona Fide Offer (as defined below) to its claimed Player of an SPC, the Club shall retain the exclusive right of negotiation for the services of such Player up to and including the second June 1 following the date of his selection.
So, generally speaking, after a player is drafted his team only automatically retains his exclusive rights for one year. After that one year, the team then tenders a Bona Fide Offer to extend those rights for a second year, or they choose not to and let the player's rights expire. The latter rarely happens, but it does happen sometimes. All the way back in 2014, if I'm remembering this correctly, it was reported that the Sabres had let Eric Locke's rights lapse a year following his draft. That would mean that the team elected not to tender him a Bona Fide Offer.
Anyway, players drafted out of college (or who enter college following the draft), or out of Europe do not have to be tendered a Bona Fide Offer and their rights are automatically held as long as stated in the appropriate section of the CBA.
Back to Marjala. Because he was drafted out of major juniors, his rights were only automatically held for one year. To get them held for a second year, the Sabres needed to tender him a Bona Fide Offer. If the Sabres had not tendered him that Bona Fide Offer, then their exclusive rights would have expired last June. Now, per 8.6(b)(ii), which has been quoted previously, because Marjala left Major Juniors and because the Sabres tendered him a Bona Fide Offer, his rights are now held until June 1, 2025.
In short, a Bona Fide Offer is something that happens for the vast majority of players drafted out of juniors, but we never hear anything about it because there isn't really anything to hear about it. Teams tender Bona Fide Offers almost as a matter of course, there really aren't a lot of reasons not to do so.
Thanks, Chainshot! Good news. I think he may be a good 5th round find. Had some impressive stats this year.
With the load of prospects we have in Rochester next year maybe staying in Europe is best. I just didn’t want to lose him.
